How to win admission to Mátyásföld Hall of Residence

Once every academic year, we announce admissions to the hall of residence; places are provided for one academic year (two semesters). Our admissions procedure is open to senior year students, first-year students and foreign students. 

A place in the hall of residence can be won by tendering for it. This can be made by everyone who has full-time, active student status at the BBS Faculty of International Management and Business.

Hall of residence applications must be submitted electronically, using the Neptun code via the Modulo system. The application comprises two separate forms, a social means report and request for admission to the hall of residence. It is not mandatory to attach the social means report but it is worth doing because of the point awarded due to distance from place of residence.

The ranking of applicants is based on the total points accrued on the social means report and hall of residence data sheet. The most important factor on the hall of residence data sheet is good study achievements but points are also awarded for communal work and outstanding results in various professional competitions.

The hall of residence fee must be paid on the last working day of every month via the Neptun system.
